The best-selling, super-hard platform game that has already
challenged players on iOS, Android, Xbox and PlayStation (and made
extreme difficulty cool before Flappy Bird) is finally available on
PC, Linux and Mac via Steam.

Made possible by fans voting for the game
on Steam Greenlight, this PC
version includes five classic levels and an exclusive new Level
Editor. Now anyone can build their own infuriatingly hard test of
skill and share it with the world.

The Impossible Game is a genuine viral smash hit, having reached
#2 in the iOS App Store and selected by Apple as their App of the
Week. Gameplay videos of The Impossible Game, including a
classic episode of 'Rage
Quit', have been watched over 15 million times on YouTube.
Having first launched on Xbox 360 in 2009, it is now available on
iPhone, Android, PSP/PS3/PSVita and Windows Phone.

A minimalist platformer with only one button, The Impossible
Game has been described as "platforming taken back to its roots" by
GameTrailers.com. Jumping over a series of spikes, pits and blocks
may sound easy, but The Impossible Game, as its name implies, could
possibly be the hardest game ever made. Yes, even harder than
Flappy Bird.

Set to a pounding techno beat, the game is unrelenting in its
difficulty, counting every failed attempt in big letters at the top
of the screen – taunting you to try just one more time. No
wonder Eurogamer.net described it as "bafflingly addictive".

The Impossible Game is the creation of British indie game
developer FlukeDude. For this new version, he partnered with Czech
Republic-based developer Grip Games, who also helped port The
Impossible Game to PlayStation.

FlukeDude said: “Impossible Game fans have been asking for
a PC version and a level editor for years, and it's thanks to their
support on Greenlight that I'm finally able to make both a reality.
I can't wait to see what they come up with.”
